10 Ghost Walks from Easton to Ocean City, MD

Welcome to Chesapeake Ghost Walks.

Chesapeake Ghost Walks on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is the largest cluster of regional ghost tours in America. Ten separate night-time walks in Ocean City, Berlin, Pocomoke, Snow Hill, Princess Anne, Crisfield, Easton, Cambridge, St. Michaels and Denton – all towns between the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. In the fall and winter there are haunted bus tours to the areas outside these towns. These are haunted tours that reveal the stories behind one of the most haunted regions in the USA.

130 Sites – 10 Walks

Together this cluster of ghost walks includes over 130 haunted sites and stories and 10 graveyards. The spirits of pirates, sea captains, merchants, governors, soldiers, slaves, orphans, farmers, witches, hoteliers, doctors, actresses and “ladies of the evening” are revealed. And though each walk stands on its own as a separate attraction, the haunted history between towns is connected. Spirits from one featured town were often related-in-life to spirits from other featured towns. Going on all ten walks will not only keep guests entertained, it will also give guests a broad perspective on Eastern Shore heritage.

Great Storytellers – Family Entertainment

Each walk is led by a certified guide who is trained on the history and folklore of that particular town, as well as paranormal and psychic phenomena. Every tour is suitable for adults and kids, Except for Princess Anne (no children allowed). The Chesapeake Ghost Walks weave a tapestry of local lore and legend, and reveal the rich heritage of the Eastern Shore and the essence of its unique character.

Where are our Ghost Walks?

Our ghost walks are spread across the Delmarva peninsula on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Walks are as close as 30 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and within 2-3 hours of Washington, DC, Philadelphia PA, Baltimore MD and Wilmington DE. The map shows the locations.

Why the Eastern Shore?

The Eastern Shore – that is the land east of the Chesapeake Bay – encompasses hundreds of square miles of rolling farmland, forest and marsh and is the least developed contiguous piece of agricultural land between Maine and Florida. The landscape is flat and open with big skies and a shoreline is never far away. It’s an enchanting landscape that has remained largely unchanged since the British colonization.

Tucked into that mystical landscape are small towns that grew up with the seafood, farming and shipbuilding trades. They were full of crazy characters, and there’s something magical about that open landscape that opens portals into the “other world” and the spirits of those characters peek through now and again. They may meet you on the stairs of your hotel or in a museum full of artifacts, on a nighttime walk through town, in your campsite, on a carousel ride, or in your guest room at a historic Inn. You’ll be “walking with some of them” on every Chesapeake Ghost Walk.

Make a night of it– If meeting up with Chesapeake spirits wasn’t reason enough to buy a ticket for one of these walks, consider that most of the featured towns are designated Maryland Main Streets and / or Arts and Entertainment Districts and all have gorgeous historic architecture, amazing food, shops, cultural venues and recreational opportunities. There’s enough to do to fill a weekend.

Healing Trees and Elementals

Guests on a Chesapeake Ghost Walks also learn about “healing trees” and elementals located inside these towns. Healing trees have a strong energy that can be felt when a hand is placed close to the tree for a period of time. Healers, or people who use holistic methods of treating illness, will sometimes visit these particular trees to engage with the tree energy. Ghost Walk guides will demonstrate how to engage with that energy.

Healing trees are featured on the Easton, Cambridge, Princess Anne and Berlin (2) Walks. One known elemental is present in the Town of Berlin.

Every Town Becomes an Old Friend

Our walks combine heritage, folklore and present-day commentary so that each guest has an immersion experience with the town, its characters and its sense of mystery. When you leave a Chesapeake Ghost Walk you’ll feel like the town you toured is an old friend.

All Chesapeake Ghost Walks are led by certified guides required to be well versed in the history and ghost-lore of that particular town. They will not only keep you engaged, but will also help you discover your own capabilities for sensing spirits.

My friends and I did the Easton Ghost Walk, and we enjoyed it so much and had so much fun, that we’re doing the Princess Anne on 7/31, the guide told us that it is one of the best ones. We are super excited, can’t wait! We all are looking forward to a really scary night!!!

I’m Trying to purchase a ticket for my husband to go on the Pocomoke walk this Saturday night 7/11 and the site won’t let me. Please contact me via my email so he will be able to enjoy this experience with our group that is already going. Thank you!!

We did the Ocean City Ghost Walk with Kelly last Friday, May 29, 4 of us. I’ve been coming to OC for 50 some years and I’m still learning OC history. Kelly was so upbeat, informative and just so much fun, that we all loved our tour. I learned so much and congratulate you on doing this service and having such wonderful tour guides. We did Easton in April and loved it, too. Thank you, Kelly, for you grand OC tour. We had so much fun learning more about OC.

I purchased 2 tickets this evening (2/18/15) for the Ghost tour on March 14, 2015. I realized too late that I had given my email address incorrectly. Is there a way to correct it? The correct address should be the one listed above. Please advise. My email is: danpiper02@comcast.net or cell # 410-726-0970. Thank you.

Hi guys…..my family has experienced numerous paranormal activity in this house that we used to live in, on rte 404, Denton, MD. Trust me, living in it wasn’t fun. The house was torn down and a golf course put up there. It was the old Upland Farm….kitchen doors slamming, being pushed down steps, demons bouncing around your room, feeling of always being watched, feeling of sheets of ice on your back…but the icing that took the cake was when something imitated my daughter while lying in her bed positioned as if in a casket. It was so real that I thought she stayed home from school. I SAW HER, IT, LAYING THERE THREE TIMES IN S ROW!! I left and had went to her school.and had to.see for myself that she was there…she was. I then determined to move and I found a place in Cambridge MD. NO.I wasn’t on any drugs or alcohol of any sort. I wasn’t the only one experiencing these things there.
Supposedly a woman was murdered in that house years and years ago.
Anyone know why a person has numerous accounts of experiences? More than one home over the years? I have had several homes over the years where events would happen…I’d like someones opinion.
Meanwhile, could I be added to your email? How does this work? I stumbled on this site trying to see if others had experiences in some of these places we’ve lived. I find this interesting.
Thanks guys

Just a quick logistics question. I bought 2 tickets through PayPal for Jan. 10. I did not receive actual tickets; just a confirmation from PayPal that the payment had been made. Did I miss an email from your company or is the confirmation from Paypal all that is necessary?

Hey Christina.
Check out our October Calendarhttp://chesapeakeghostwalks.com/events/2014-10/

Thanks for your interest.

We just did the Princess Anne ghost walk this past Saturday and were curious about the kid who lived in the house of the talking pictures/paintings ( of the clown) we were curious of the guys name because we were told he wrote a couple books too. Please let us know. Thank you.

Erik, the man I mentioned was Andy Nunez. He’s an author who lives in Somerset County and has written several books on hauntings on the Eastern Shore. He also participates in paranormal investigations. I mentioned Andy’s name at that house because he is the one who collected the story. You can find Andy on Facebook or email him at editor @ atomagazine.com

You can purchase tickets in advance if you come to our office in Marion Station, or mail in a payment to our address specifying which tour you’d like. You should look ahead and identify the tour you want. Then purchase the tickets. If you wait until the week of the tour, it will most likely sell out. Our address and contact information can be found on the CONTACT link at the top of the web page.

Would LOVE to have you come to Elkton’s Main Street and maybe put together a walk? Many buildings built in late 1700s and the town has a rich history of “paranormalisms”. We have the manpower to help out. Just a thought!

Hi Mindie……I love this stuff….I even plan on enrolling in an online course in Paranormal Investigation……but anyway – LOL – I walk with a cane so I was wondering what would be the best way for me to enjoy one of your tours…….thanks…….

My wife and I found a Ghost Tour that was done in Kinsale, County Kerry, Ireland a couple years ago and was impressed at both, the amount of historical information was presented and the fun of the Ghost walk itself.

I live on the Virginia Eastern Shore and was thinking the town of Eastville, VA might be a good candidate for getting a Walk started. There’s a tremendous amount of History represented there with the Old Courthouse, which houses the oldest, continuous records of life in the area going back to the 17th Century. With Revolutionary, Civil, and World war history available, it should be a very educational and entertaining event series.

Sounds great, Douglas. We’ll be looking for new tours to add this year. I’m definitely interested in Onancock and Chincoteague. We’ll take a look at Eastville too. Thanks for the suggestion. And I know the guy who does the Kinsale ghost tour. He’s fabulous.

We have tours all year, Robin except for December because we found last year that they were poorly attended. Check out the calender and scroll through the months (click the arrows at the bottom of the page) http://chesapeakeghostwalks.com/events
